Player Review

94 - TOTS

3.0

Nothing too special

By thierry, 13-05-2020

After packing him untradeable a few days ago, I felt really lucky and was thinking this could become one of my best end game squads ever. I know, I don't have much experience with him yet (only in div 2&3 in rivals), but because most people will buy him the next couple of days, I felt like I'll help the biggest amount of people, if I write a review on him now.

Some of his stats reviewed:

Pace: I feel like this is one of his best stats. He is very quick, which will allow you to dribble past some other midfielders with, most of the times, less pace.

Shooting: He hasn't scored a goal caused by his shooting yet, but I feel confident whith him in front of goal, which is great.

Passing: What you'd expect. Great passing, but most of the times when losing possesion, it's because bad user input, so it doesn't make De Jong really exceptional.

Dribbling: He feels very rapid at the ball, which is also caused by his pace. His first touches are amazing. He's a maestro with the ball at his feet, but without it he's quite invisible to be honest.

Defending: Great, maybe he could even play at cb with sentinel or something. Maybe I'll try that later. However, I feel like he doesn't really make key interceptions like players like Kanté sometimes make.

Physical: Jumping is fine. Stamina isn't 99, but he doesn't really need is because of his low attacking work rates. Strength is great but doesn't really feel like 85. His aggression is a bit low, which will sometimes not let him tackle the ball automatically.

Workrates: Great for a cdm or even a cb or wingerback, not so good when using him as a cam.

Weak foot: You can pass with him with both feet. Of course shooting with his left won't be very good.

Skillmoves: 4 stars is all you need for a midfielder imo.

After the games I've played with him, I came to a few conclusions. His card is great, don't get me wrong, but he isn't as special as I've expected and hoped for. If you compare him to a player like Kovacic totssf (which I've used during my last futchamps) or fernandinho, there aren't many differences. Frenkie does the job very well, he doesn't make a lot of mistakes and his first touches are one of the best I've ever felt, but he doesn't stand out on the pitch. Maybe it's because I don't use him the right way, or because I haven't played enough games with him. I don't know, but if you'd ask me if he's worth the 900k, I'd say definately not.

Frenkie de Jong

Un-Noticed beast

Frenkie is like a real life busquets, when you're playing him, most don't notice what he does in the field (not everyone), but once you take a closer look dude is everywhere. He's a little minion running around chasing the ball. I play him at cm without instructions because I want him to be everywhere like he does. He has 62 long shots and he has scored some okay outside the box shots but you can notice by his animation its...

Frankie De Jong

First of all, i would like to mention that i used a lot of CM's this year such as Sissoko, Allan, Goretzka, Veratti, Tolisso, Ndombele, Wjinaldum etc. None of them had the magic of Frankie. Saying that, Sissoko is an amazing player but in my opinion Frankie is a little bit better. He is an amazing player in game attacking and defensive wise. At the moment he is the best CM you can buy under 100k!! Nice pace, amazing passi...
